BRUSSELS SPROUTS BROWN BETTY

Brussels Sprouts Brown Betty image

I had the idea to make a savory version of the family-favorite brown betty using vegetables in place of fruit, while keeping the classic crunchy bread crumb topping. The result is a creamy, decadent side that will turn anyone into a Brussels sprouts fan. -Shauna Havey, Roy, Utah
